The sand lizard, seen in the forest :)
The sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) is a lacertid lizard distributed across most of Europe and eastwards to Mongolia. It does not occur in the Iberian peninsula or European Turkey.
As juveniles they are usually brown with two light brown lines on the top of the flanks, on the flanks they have light spots bordered by a dark colour. Male adults are usually green on the flanks and a brownish back with smaller black markings and lighter scales inside of these black markings, the tail is brown and hind limbs also. Females are more brown, on the flanks they have various dark markings also with a lighter dot or two inside of this dark patch. Sand Lizards can reach up to 25 cm (10 in) in length. This species can be found in a wide range of habitat types including meadows, heathland, coastal dunes, grassland, steppe, subalpine and alpine meadows, shrubland, hedgerows, open woodland, in alpine areas, traditionally managed agricultural land and rural gardens. It appears after hibernation in March in the North, in March - April in the South and at mountains.

Jaszczurka zwinka spotkana w lesie :)
Jaszczurka zwinka (Lacerta agilis) – gatunek jaszczurki z rodziny jaszczurek właściwych. Występuje na większości kontynentu europejskiego poza jego południowymi krańcami. Na zachodzie granicą jej zasięgu jest środkowa Francja. Na północy spotkać ją można nawet w centrum Półwyspu Skandynawskiego. Jej wschodnie siedliska sięgają po środkową Rosję. Występuje również w Turcji i zachodniej Azji. Zwinka preferuje siedliska nizinne. Najczęściej można ją spotkać w niskiej trawie, wygrzewającą się w słońcu. Jest bardzo ciepłolubna. Maksymalna długość ciała w Polsce dochodzi do 25 cm. Samca można odróżnić od samicy po tym, że ma on zielonkawe podbrzusze, czasem nakrapiane drobnymi plamkami, zaś samica ma szary lub kremowy spód ciała. W okresie godowym, czyli w maju, samce przybierają intensywną zieloną barwę. Młode zwinki po wykluciu się, podobnie jak młode innych jaszczurek, są znacznie ciemniejsze niż osobniki dorosłe. Jej ogon jest nieco dłuższy od tułowia. W sytuacji zagrożenia zostaje odrzucony jako przynęta dla drapieżnika. Z czasem odrasta do pierwotnej długości.
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange
these apples then you an I will still each have one apple.
But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange
these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.

This image is from Koukokuji Temple in Japan. What you see are small Buda statues made of glass that have multicolored lights under them. They are programed to be a light show at times.
This display stands for many things, but my take away was this- in a crowd of many, there is always one that stands out. A light to others. Don't conform, be who you are and you can shine too, standing out in the crowd.
For once, the weather didn't play along and getting up early wasn't quite worth it. But "my Solitaire" still showed itself in a beautiful light.
Für einmal spielte das Wetter nicht mit und das frühe Aufstehen hatte sich für einmal nicht ganz gelohnt. "Mein Solitär" zeigte sich dann aber doch noch in einem schönen Licht.

2023 photo 29/336: The weather outside is cold, dreary and damp. Linda made hot cocoa for us earlier this afternoon, and tonight's main course is chili -- with conbread. Yum! ©2023 John MM. Hudson | jmhudson1.com ©2023 John M. Hudson
It was hard to find the Woodies after they jumped out of the creek. It was so muddy, I couldn't get close. When I pulled the shot up on my computer, I noticed they were both standing on one leg.
With my college move in date coming quick, I decided to shoot L-521 making their way to Kimberly one last time. Chances are the next time I can shoot this train, things will have drastically changed. It is certainly the end of an era.
Yew trees in a Shropshire graveyard, England - Wales is believed to have the oldest tree in Britain, a yew of course! This can be found at St. Cynog's Church, Defynnog in Powys - Its DNA and Ring Checks confirmed it's over 5,000 years old - Amazing?
I held up the group to take this "one last shot" near Mesa Arch in the Canyonlands near Moab, Utah. Actually, it was more like 20 last shots. Then I hustled back, and, as the group became visible down below, I started to limp, but all I heard were shouts of "We're not buying that." Some people just don't understand the artistic temperament. Taken on Jeff Clow's Dirt Cheap Photo Tour.

A dusty plastic fan in a dirty window above a shop door.
Looks like a relic from the 70s or 80s to me.
I think I received a Polaroid One Step ages ago on my 16th birthday! I would love to still have it but this decoration will do for now. Maybe when we're able to hit the antique shops again, I might find one to add to my little collection.

I have two Coopers Hawks that are hunting in my yard and they are here every day. This one is on my fence and he is watching a squirrel on the bird feeder.
The feeding frenzy continues as the marsh seems to be overrun with newly hatched fish. Eagerly feeding on them are dozens and dozens of terns, egrets, herons and gulls. The wading birds stab at the fish with their sharp beaks from the shore but if you want to get to the big schools you have to venture into deeper water. That's where the terns and gulls are feasting. While the gulls have a more dainty approach of hovering over the surface until finally dropping in to grab a fish, The terns dive bomb from 20 feet up and impale fish on their large beaks.
This one shows of its skills by catching two fish at the same time.
